<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>63-1130E, Go, Awake Jesus, Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA, 108 min
L-1      Lord, I believe,
All things are possible, Lord, I believe.

L-2 Let us remain standing just a moment, for prayer. And as we bow our heads now, I wonder, in the assembly here, and in the basement, if there was... and up in the balcony, wherever, if anyone in Divine Presence would like to be known tonight before God, in a special request, would you just raise your hands to Him now. And hold your thought now and what you're thinking, and just believe that Christ stands right before you.

L-3   Heavenly Father, we are standing here with our hands up, and, as the brother has said, "It's a universal sign of surrender." And we surrender ourselves to You, as lumps of clay that's come from the earth, and we pray, God, that You'll fill them tonight with Thy Spirit and Life, and get glory to Thyself. Speak through us, tonight. Work through us, to Thy honor. Answer every request, Lord. You know them all. You know what's behind our hands, and our motives, our objectives, and what we want, and the... what we would do with it if we got it. And, Lord, I pray that You will purify our hearts, and thoughts, and minds, that if we would receive what we're asking for, it would be to Your honor. For the glory of God, we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-4   It's good to be back in the house of the Lord, tonight. I may feel just a little stopped up. Satan has been trying to hand me a bad cold, every since New York. And every time he hands it to me, I hand it right back to him; and he hands it to me, and then I hand it right back to him, see. So we're kind of fussing over that, so I know the Lord will step in after a while and take the sides. And so...

L-5 And I pray that the Lord will grant all your requests, tonight. Now we have given tonight for healing service. Now, I guess many of you wonder, usually, in coming across the country, they... I announce I'm going to have a meeting, the first thought is Divine healing, see.

L-6   But, there is more to the ministry than Divine healing, see. The sickest body I know of, tonight, is the so-called Body of Jesus Christ. It needs spiritual healing. There is only one balm that I know that will heal, and that's the Word. And that's the sick Body that we want to stand up in the strength and the vitamin power of the Gospel. And that's why I use much of the time now in trying to strengthen the Church, by the Word.

L-7 I know I'm a poor substitute to take the place of a minister, a scholared minister. But I do believe this, with no disregards to--to the ministry of scholarship. I wished I had it. And I'm not trying to support my ignorance, by saying this. But what we need now, more than we do the intellectual side to know how to put the Word together and make It masterly fit, is God. We need God. See? See? And it doesn't always come through rightly formed words. It--it comes through a dedicated heart, and that heart dedicated to God and doing the will of God. Now, you've got to know the will before you can do the will. Find out what you're here for. It isn't just a...

L-8   I've always thought the Church wasn't a haphazard. Jesus never came to earth in a haphazard way. He never died in a haphazard way. He come for a purpose, and that purpose was to fulfill the Commandment of God, that He might purchase to Himself a Church without spot or wrinkle.
